This song always made the worst school day drop and fade away. We girls would jump up and scream in unison when this song played…we’d clear the room of furniture, pushing it to the four walls…and yyyeah…we’d come alive! Good times…

2:57 I swear he looks just like Warren Entner of the Grassroots band very handsome! At this point they sound just like a helicopter getting ready for take off - powerful!! 👊 WHEW!!! 🎉

One of my favorites back in the day, all hair and almost no faces, and loud as hell. As a drummer in a school band, I used to freak out when they came on the radio. I liked Just A Little Bit even more. Thanks for the overloaded memories!

Rock on!

Are those sandbags holding the drums in place?

WOW 🤩 Have heard of “Blue Cheer” band from someone on YT in CA who saw them live at age 15; helicopters dropped water & rained flowers down on the audience on a very hot sunny day. It was an all day concert with some of the greats & so wish I’d have been there!
Thank you for this my 1st time “seeing” them!
I always think of “Cheer” laundry detergent when hearing their name. This is HEAVY!!! MAN!!! 🎉❤🎶
